For the second year, the Tajik community in Lithuania has been actively participating in the traditional holiday “Bread Day.” The Tajik community presented Tajik national bread and baked goods from traditional cuisine to the guests.

This was reported on February 6 on the social network Facebook by Ilkhomjon Yokubzoda.

Representatives from Armenians, Belarusians, Estonians, Greeks, Karaites, Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, Latvians, Poles, Moldovans, Romanians, Roma, Tatars, Turks, Ukrainians, Germans, Jews, and other national minorities participated in the celebration.

During the event, representatives of national minorities not only showcased their national bread and dishes but also shared their history, traditions, and cultural heritage with hundreds of participants, Yokubov reported.

The Tajik community in Lithuania believes that this event is a good opportunity for fostering intercultural dialogue and reflects the cultural diversity of Lithuania.

The “Bread Day” holiday, organized annually by the Department of National Minorities under the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, has been held since 2005.
